Abstract

A method has been developed for end- and edge-gluing short pieces of high-value hardwood lumber into long panels, using a curved end joint we call SEM (Serpentine End Matching). Panels containing SEM end joints are aesthetically pleasing and are suited for exposed applications such as in finished furniture.
